- a declared provider account (gift cards, hiring, ordering) is a service relationship, not an affiliation
- a register party at the business's premises is a candidate operator until the Place and legal resolvers bind it
- a licensed operator of the business's premises operates those locations; it is not thereby the brand's owner
- an employer a job board names on the openings posts them; it is not thereby the owner or the operator
- an app's store seller or developer publishes the app; neither is thereby the restaurant's owner
- a menu that names a producer names it; it is not a supply contract, a volume or an exclusivity
- a mail or DMARC service domain in DNS is a technical service relationship, not an affiliation
- a group the site says it is part of is a public affiliation; the equity chain and buying rights are separate questions
- an organization that posts the openings, sells the app or holds a program account shares services with the business; that is not affiliation or ownership

- As printed Following in the footsteps of his parents, who owned and operated Restaurant de La Gare, a Hotel-Restaurant in Faoug (a small town in the French-influenced part of Switzerland,) Bernard says that his desire to become a chef came the day he was born; "I was born in one of the rooms above the family restaurant. My first smell was that of food. It has been in my blood to become a chef since the day I was born." Born and raised west of the Alps, Althaus brings an earnest French/Swiss sensibility to his cuisine. Educated in Lausanne, he then served his apprenticeship at Restaurant Le Chalet Suisse, before coming to the U.S. where he served as head chef for the French Sailing team of the 1970 America's Cup. He then continued this journey as a private chef on charters in the Caribbean before returning to Switzerland to start a family. In 1990, Bernard and wife Arlette, along with their two children, came to Newport Beach for a wedding and plans of traveling the U.S. for a year. Like many, they found the combination of beautiful weather, the Pacific Ocean, and nearby access to skiing irresistible and decided to make California their new home. Back in Southern California, Althaus began cooking alongside fellow Swiss, Ernst Zingg, at The Cellar in Fullerton, spent almost two years at Newport Beach's Pascal Restaurant, then over five years at Mezzanine At The Towers in Irvine before opening Basilic Restaurant on Balboa Island in 1997. Althaus has since been spending most of his time perfecting his exquisite dishes and pleasing his clientele five nights a week. At home he and Arlette harvest their organic garden to produce the fresh herbs used in most dishes (the name Basilic is the French word for basil- Althaus' favorite go-to herb for seasoning) and growing an array of vegetables served at the restaurant. Today, Bernard splits his time between the kitchen, where he ensures every dish is crafted to perfection, and the dining room, where he frequently greets guests and catches up with regulars. In his downtime, he finds joy in exploring new backcountry skiing and hiking trails, tending to his garden, and spending quality time with his family. bottom of pagePublished by the company · confirmed Oct 13, 2026, 2:55 AM UTC

Roles
- GM & Co-Proprietorhttps://www.basilicrestaurant.com/about
- As printed Loic Althaus, general manager and co-owner of Basilic Restaurant, has always been immersed in a world of creativity and passion. A graduate of the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, Loic earned his degree in Industrial Design, where he developed a deep appreciation for design, craftsmanship, and innovation. For over a decade, Loic honed his skills as an apparel and shoe designer for a Los Angeles-based Japanese streetwear brand. His time in the fashion industry shaped his eye for detail and refined his approach to aesthetics. However, Loic's true calling ultimately led him back to the family business. Having grown up surrounded by the world of food and hospitality, he felt a strong pull to continue his family's culinary legacy. In 2018, Loic joined Basilic as a sous chef, bringing fresh ideas and a modern sensibility to the kitchen. His love for travel and exposure to global cuisine, particularly during his travels throughout Asia for work, broadened his culinary horizons and inspired him to bring new flavors and techniques to Basilic. In 2025, Loic officially partnered with his father, Bernard Althaus, to become general manager and co-owner of the restaurant. In his new role, Loic is dedicated to upholding the tradition of quality and simplicity that his father established while introducing innovative ways to showcase Swiss and European flavors to both locals and visitors. Loic’s vision for Basilic Restaurant is to continue the rich legacy built over almost three decades while pushing the boundaries of European cuisine in a way that resonates with the modern palate. "I’m excited to continue the legacy my father has built over the past 27 years, preserving the simplicity and warmth that have defined our restaurant. At the same time, I look forward to exploring innovative ways to bring the authentic taste of Switzerland to both Orange County and its visitors, ensuring a bright future for Basilic," Loic shares. Outside of the restaurant, Loic enjoys traveling, exploring the great outdoors, and, of course, indulging in good food, which continues to fuel his passion for creating exceptional dining experiences. bottom of pagePublished by the company · confirmed Oct 13, 2026, 2:55 AM UTC
